Receiver Adonai Mitchell got the lowdown on new offensive coordinator Frank Reich from some old teammates who played for him when he was Indianapolis’ head coach. Mitchell was acquired from the Colts last year in the Sauce Gardner trade.
Receiver Michael Pittman Jr. told Mitchell, “You’re going to like him. He’s a great coach, knows what he’s doing and has a great plan. I was ready. I was happy when we got him.”
Asked what he likes about Reich’s offense, Mitchell said, “What’s not to like?”
“The way he sees the game, the way he views the game, he allows his receivers to have freedom on routes,” Mitchell said. “I just love everything about it.”
